Today's project - daisy dress

Throughout the day today, amidst a relaxed and wonderful day of snuggling the kids, doing housework, reading a chapter in my book, making homemade waffles for dinner, and enjoying a family stroll through the neighborhood, I have been sewing a dress for Abigail. It just needs to be hemmed and have its as-yet-unpurchased zipper installed and it will be finished. The ribbon detail on the edges of the sleeves and around the bodice was a new attempt for me, but it went very well and I'm very pleased with the result.
I encountered the usual glitches...but I am finally getting better about calmly solving the issue instead of wadding up the errant project and stuffing it in a basket to wait for my mother to fix. It's only taken me thirty-one years to stop being a wuss about it. :)

Love it! I started adding more details like ribbons and trims to Hannah's dresses a couple of years back and love it! I do it more and more all the time! Abigail's dress is adorable. I just bought material for a fall dress for Hannah...now to get busy with it!
